Crystal arthropathy in other metabolic disorders - what does this mean
Crystal arthropathy in other metabolic disorders is caused by the accumulation of crystals in the joints due to an imbalance in the body's metabolism. the most common type of crystal arthropathy is gout, which is caused by an accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. other metabolic disorders that can lead to crystal arthropathy include hyperparathyroidism, hypomagnesemia, and wilson's disease. these disorders cause an imbalance in the body's metabolism, leading to the accumulation of crystals in the joints, which can cause pain, inflammation, and joint damage.
What happens during the disease - crystal arthropathy in other metabolic disorders
